ṣaṣṭiṃ sahasrāṇi patanti vyomni tathāśītiṃ caiva tu vatsarāṇām
tānvai nudante prapatantaḥ prayātān bhīmā bhaumā rākṣasās tīkṣṇadaṃṣṭrāḥ //

Yayâti.—“The people who are not conscious of their duty in course of their existence on earth, and whose corporeal actions are not lofty, go to the mundane hell. First, they hover about in the sky in the form of air, for a period of sixty thousand and eighty terrible years, and then at the time of their fall, they are devoured by terrestrial Râkṣasas who have formidable fangs.”—7-8.
